Abstract excerpt
Genetically susceptible Lewis rats injected in the intestinal wall with peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-APS) polymers develop chronic granulomatous enterocolitis concomitant with activation of the kallikrein-kinin system. To elucidate the role of high-molecular-weight kininogen (HK) in chronic enterocolitis, we back crossed Brown-Norway rats having a HK deficiency with Lewis rats for five generations. Two new...
